Would love to know the app who previously held the record.
- jandrese 10y agoI'd bet on something like the Facebook app, assuming they advertised it heavily when it first came out.
- Jackim 10y agoFacebook has been out for ages though, the number of total devices has grown significantly since then.
- Thaxll 10y agoIt's probably another game.
- vhost- 10y agoMaybe flappy bird?
- nikanj 10y agoNo, flappy bird was a slow burn
- jandrese 10y agoA big week 1 surge requires pre-existing name recognition. Games with a 2 in the name are the next most likely to have heavy first week downloads. Angry Birds 2 or Bejeweled 2 for example.
- mnem 10y agoFlappy Bird wasn't overly popular when it came out, it was only later on that it went viral (I think about 6 months or so after it launched).

- samstr 10y agoI would say Google Maps.
- BryantD 10y agoClash Royale would be my guess. Recent release, IP carries over from a very popular existing game, but it's not just a sequel. Also had great word of mouth from the geobeta.
- boodm 10y agoI have to speculate that Minecraft and Angry Birds have both individually had more downloads than Clash Royale.
- Steko 10y agoNot the first Angry Birds, that was a snowball hit not a first week blowout. Minecraft is paid. I would guess FB Messenger or maybe Google Maps. Or something from China, seems like when QQ releases a core app there's millions who just go and download it.
- crgt 10y agoMaybe Instagram? It was a Day 1 hit..
- BryantD 10y agoOverall, sure. In the first week of release, I'd be surprised. Minecraft would be a strong candidate if it was a free app, but any price lowers your downloads drastically.
- cookiemonsta 10y agoIs it actually a poparul game? I've never heard of it...
- BryantD 10y agoYep. Hit #1 grossing in the first day, sustained pretty well.
- B1FF_PSUVM 10y agoI'd bet a dime on Angry Birds.
